KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed that officers visited a rapper’s residence to serve a witness summons for an ongoing investigation.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus stated this action was taken under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code following a July 31 report.
A 33 year old man filed the complaint after allegedly receiving offensive remarks from the rapper on Instagram.
